About

I am a journalist by day and a sports fan by night. I grew up in a suburb outside of Chicago and am thus a deep-dish loving, die hard Chicago sports fan.

I have a couple of beliefs that will tell you a bit about me. The old Chicago Stadium is better than the United Center. It will always be Comiskey Park to me. Wrigley Field is a disgusting place. Northwestern football is what rules my Saturdays.

    Hi Ryan,

    I'm going around to fellow Big Ten fans to gage who they would most like to see as the conferences 12th member in the expansion. It's big news and is certainly creating quite an excitement.

    I thought you might dig this article on the state of Illinois producing big time players!

    Hey Ryan,

    I'm writing articles on the MLB 9s and thought you'd be interested in the two Chicago pieces I wrote about the Cubs and the White Sox.

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
